Bramhananda, an Indian Railways Accounts Service officer, currently posted in Kolkata, and Nimmagadda Prasad alias Matrix Prasad were produced before the special CBI court, which remanded them in judicial custody till May 30.

Bramhananda was arrested over his alleged role in helping Jagan in amassing wealth disproportionate to his known sources of his income, while Prasad allegedly invested over Rs 500 crore in different businesses of Jagan and was arrested after two days of intensive questioning.

However, Prasad's counsel wondered saying "My client appeared 13 times before the investigating agency and has been cooperating with them. What was the urgency in arresting him?"

CBI memo seeking police custody of the duo was posted for tomorrow.

The then government headed by Jagan's father Y S Rajasekhara Reddy allegedly allotted 15,000 acres of land in Prakasam and Guntur districts to Prasad's company for development of the Vadarevu-Nizampatnam port and industrial corridor.

The CBI, in its charge sheet filed in the case, alleged that Prasad invested huge money in Jagan's business ventures as a quid pro quo for the benefits he secured from the then YSR government.
